BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi General Plan includes goals that encourage compact development within the General Plan boundaries and to discourage leapfrog development and urban sprawl. To support these goals, the Lodi Municipal Code currently restricts the City from accepting discharge from private facilities or properties outside the City of Lodi service area into the domestic sewerage or storm drainage systems as reflected in Section 13.12,150.13.1. Cherokee Memorial Park Cemetery (Cherokee Memorial) is a non-profit company that is licensed with the State of California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. Cherokee Memorial serves Lodi, Stockton, and portions of the San Joaquin Valley; and is located just outside the City's eastern city limits at the corner of Harney Lane and Beckman Road (Exhibit A). The facility is currently served by a septic system that is regulated by the San Joaquin County Health Department. Cherokee Memorial has recently embarked on the design of an 18,000 square foot addition to the north side of the Chapel building. The proposed addition includes administrative offices and funeral home functions and will require significantly expanding the existing chapel septic system. For this reason, Cherokee Memorial management is requesting the City consider providing sewer service outside the City to accommodate the addition to the Chapel building. Cherokee Memorial proposes to connect to the City's wastewater trunk line that is located approximately 120 feet north of the cemetery. The design concept includes a small force main located within County Right of Way along Beckman Road. The projected wastewater flows from the addition to the Chapel building are anticipated to be less than 1,500 gallons per day. This value is de minimis respective to the capacity of the pipeline serving the proposed connection. Staff normally would not recommend amending the Lodi Municipal Code to encourage a connection outside City limits. However, Cherokee Memorial does provide a State regulated sanitary service to the City of Lodi and surrounding areas. By adding language that allows Council to consider providing sewer service outside City limits to "existing publicly licensed sanitary service providers to City residents"; Council has the tools to respect the goals identified in the current General Plan while providing an option for improving the service level for our residents that need cemetery services.

Now therefore be it further ordained as follows 1. Service Outside Lodi. Except as set forth below, no discharge from private facilities or properties outside the city of Lodi shall be allowed into the domestic sewerage or storm drainage systems. The city council may by contract allow connection from: (1) winery facilities outside Lodi to the industrial sewerage system on the terms set forth in this section so long as the system has adequate existing capacity to service the waste (2) publicly owned wastewater systems or existing publicly licensed sanitary service providers to City residents ("public district") to the domestic wastewater treatment system on terms set forth in this section so long as the system has adequate existing capacity to service the waste. If the proposed amendment is approved, Staff will prepare a memorandum of understanding with Cherokee Memorial identifying the terms and conditions associated with connecting to the City's wastewater system. The proposed MOU will be brought before City Council for approval at a later date. Applicants receiving services outside City limits currently pay a one-time capacity charge and a monthly sewer surcharge of 150% of the City's standard published rate for wastewater service. Staff recommends City Council conduct a Public Hearing to introduce the ordinance amending Lodi Municipal Code Title 13 "Public Services," by repealing and re-enacting Section 13.12.150 "Connections Outside City" in its entirety. FISCAL IMPACT: The Wastewater Enterprise Fund will realize a small increase in rate revenue associated with the connection. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. Charles E.

Lodi Municipal Code Title 13 – Public Services – Chapter 13.12, "Sewer Service," is hereby amended by repealing and reenacting Section 13.12.150, "Connections Outside City," in its entirety. Section 13.12.150 shall read as follows: SECTION 13.12.150 - CONNECTIONS OUTSIDE CITY A. Whereas: 1. San Joaquin County will retain its authority over land use approval for wineries located within county jurisdiction. 2. The city of Lodi's general plan contains the following land use element goals a. Policy LU -A.1— The city shall seek to preserve Lodi's small-town and rural qualities. b. Policy LU-A.4—The city shall promote reinvestment in downtown Lodi and in the Eastside area that upgrades the general quality of development in these areas. c. Goal LU-B—To preserve agricultural land surrounding Lodi and to discourage premature development of agricultural land with nonagricultural uses, while providing for urban needs. d. Policy LU-13.1—The city shall encourage the preservation of agricultural land surrounding the city. e. Policy LU-B.2—The city should designate a continuous open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of Lodi to maintain and enhance the agricultural economy. f. Policy LU-B.6—The city shall encourage San Joaquin County to retain agricultural uses on lands adjacent to the city. g. Goal LU-D—To promote and retain development in downtown Lodi. h. Policy LU-D.1—The city shall preserve and promote downtown Lodi and the city's social and cultural center and an economically viable retail and professional office district. i. Policy LU-D.3—The city shall enhance pedestrian activity and pedestrian amenities in downtown Lodi. 3. The city encourages compact development and discourages leapfrog development and urban sprawl within the Highway 12/Interstate 5 corridor, all of which would be inconsistent with the above general plan goals. The city's general plan is committed to the above goals within its own boundaries as well, stating the following: a. A-5 The city shall require specific development plans in areas of major new development. b. E-2 The city shall promote downtown Lodi as the primary pedestrian -oriented, commercial area of Lodi. c. E-4 The city shall ensure the new commercial development be designed to avoid the appearance of strip development. d. E-7 In approving new commercial projects, the city shall seek to ensure that such projects reflect the city's concern for achieving and maintaining high quality development. 4. Providing wastewater treatment service to Flag City on the condition that service not be afforded to developments that conflict with the goals set forth herein furthers those goals by concentrating development in an existing county service area with set boundaries. 5. County acknowledges the goals set forth in the Lodi general plan as set forth above and has similar provisions in its general plan which encourage agricultural uses, compact land use and development, and discourage "leap frog development" and "urban sprawl." Toward these ends, the county general plan provides: a. To make efficient use of land and promote a functional development pattern with varied and compatible land uses. b. To minimize the effect on agricultural lands and other environmental resources while providing for orderly growth. c. To create a visually attractive county. d. To avoid the problems and costs imposed on local government by development that does not have adequate services. e. Rural communities shall. i. Be planned to have minimal growth, mainly infill development, with expansion discouraged; ii. Be planned to serve the immediate needs of the community's residents or the surrounding agricultural community; iii. Have a minimum land area of fifty acres or have been identified on the general plan 1995 map as a residential area. f. Development shall be orderly and compact. g. Development should occur on vacant lots within existing communities as "infill" before extending beyond the current developed areas of a community. h. Freeway Service. i. Function. Provide for commercial uses oriented almost exclusively to serving the needs of the freeway traveler. ii. Typical Uses. Travel -related businesses including gasoline service stations, food and beverage sales, eating and drinking establishments, and hotels and motels. iii. Development and Locational Criteria. Freeway service areas shall be: (A) Designated only adjacent to full freeway interchanges where development will be easily accessible and visible to the freeway traveler; (B) Limited in number to encourage clustering of uses at selected interchanges; (C) Limited in area in order to reduce impacts on surrounding land uses and control the physical and visual extent of these areas; 2 (D) Developed so that buildings occupy no more than sixty percent of the lot and are no more than three stories in height; and (E) Designed in an attractive manner that creates a favorable impression of the county by considering the overall site design, landscaping, scale of development, signage, relationship to adjacent uses, circulation and parking, and architecture. 6. There is a need for upgraded sewer treatment facilities to service Flag City and the parties wish to cooperatively ensure that any development that occurs in Flag City is orderly, compact and in compliance with the goals of the city and county general plans. B. Now therefore be it further ordained as follows: 1. Service Outside Lodi.
